I have written a novella for my youngest son (e.g. targets age 6 to 12).
It’s about him and his brother visiting their favourite holiday destination.
The title is: “The Bali Coin”
Here’s the cover:
Here’s the blurb:
One mysterious coin. Two brothers. The adventure of a lifetime.
When seven-year-old Jon and his teenage brother Alex arrive in Bali for a sun-filled family vacation, they anticipate lazy pool days, towering sandcastles, and endless breakfast buffets. But everything changes when Jon discovers a peculiar, ancient coin hidden in the sand, sparking an unforgettable adventure. Adorned with mysterious symbols, the relic points to secrets scattered across the island.
As the brothers join forces to unravel the coin’s enigma, they explore scorching beaches, dodge curious lizards, and slip past their parents’ watchful gaze, all while pursuing hints of long-lost treasures. With their return flight looming, can Jon and Alex unlock the island’s mysteries, or will the coin’s secrets stay buried forever?
Ideal for young readers and families, The Bali Coin is a joyful, humorous story of sibling teamwork, endless wonder, and the excitement of exploration.
It was a lot of fun to write, and I think, to read.
